How do I remove a family member from my family share?

I am trying to setup a Apple Watch for my son. I accidentally added him in there twice under family sharing. How has two separate Apple ID’s and when I am trying to pair my Apple Watch for him using one of the Apple ID it says activation lock and will not let me go further. Says incorrect Apple ID or password.

cannot set up son's apple watch to family share, apple id is different from apple id already in family share I have an apple watch we purchased for our son, we have a phone number through Verizon, we have not been able to use it and set it up for my son so that I can track him. I can now call him and he can call me. But cannot assign him to family share since his apple watch apple id is already set up, and I cannot set him up as a family share member with an already existing apple id, and I did set up a family share id for him, I put a request in to delete that apple id. I believe my husband also has another apple id set up in his family share , if I am not wrong. We just want to be able to connect his apple watch to a family share plan so we can track him and contact him. Any help would be great, we both just cannot figure it out, it seems like it is much harder than it should be. [Edited by Moderator]

By "family sharing" I assume you mean using watch family setup. JK would first try to reset the watch to factory settings using whichever Apple ID works:

Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Then set it up again using whichever Apple ID you like:

Set up an Apple Watch for a family member - Apple Support
